Are we entering a 2008 type of housing market correction here?

Leander is about as Austin as Covington is New Orleans.

IMO if you’re spending that much you want a private pool, and if you’re buying a 5 bedroom house that size it’s because you have a family/multiple kids

no one wants a house in that size and that price point without a pool or outdoor area for kids and that yard/lot with the slope makes neither of those possible

that lot with outdoor covered patio and hill views needed to be a smaller house for older single couple

Nice view outside but that house looks like a prison to me.

Is crown molding no longer a thing? It seems to me that it looks kind of cheap without it.

It's too modern for me. Lacks character. Looks bland. Also, for 1.6M I can get 4 acres, build exactly what I want and have an outdoor area people would pay to use.

No colors ere harmed during the making of this house. One might go snow blind living it that thing.

Come to my town where a renovated house on .17 of an acre is selling for over 3 million lol

I mean it's rather spectacular but that's crazy

We joke but the property taxes alone on this is a separate mortgage. If you got it you got it, but 1.6 M on this property is a hard sell

$2 million doesn’t get you cabinet pulls either.

new custom home


If the home is new and for sale it is a spec (speculatory) property, not custom.
